Joy! Joy!

The Joy T-Shirt.

Every face on a Joy T- Shirt has been inspired by a real person. When you
wear your shirt you are encouraged to think about that person and how
your everyday actions can affect others and the world we live in.

After you purchase a shirt you may then upload a photo of your own
visage via the participate link to have your face drawn by hand and
worn on the hearts of others. It is about taking an active stance against racism and discrimination while being an advocate for peace and equality... because in someway or another, we are all connected!

I absolutely love the concept of this. I originally found it right before the horrible xenophobic attacks happened here in SA. I still haven't really been able to write about those. I just had too many nightmares maybe...
At last I'm finally getting around to posting this now :)

There are GOOD people out there, and damnit... we DO outnumber the bad.

uncomfortable

Sometimes I think dreams can just catch you too unawares.

I wish I could figure them all out.
I've had a few that have been interesting and sometimes a little worrying when they ring true later.
I'm certain it's nothing psychic, just a human subconscious working things out maybe a little faster than our conscious minds. Picking up on more subtle signs than our eyes clearly relay and our brains loudly analyse.

Do you get the uncomfortable ones too?
When you see people in your dreams you may have avoided in daylight.
Someone who's maybe pushed you away and shoved your previous closeness so far away you're too scared to ask them what the hell happened?
Here they are in your dream. Explaining everything in their own words and possibly you both end up apologising for your involvement in bringing things to where you find them.
Is that a dream of closure? Can you see it as being resolved then or will you have to try and actually HAVE the conversation that was already strained in a dream.

yuck. I hope not.
:)
If i could control my dreams I wouldn't have put us anywhere near that resolution in the first place *sigh*
Even if that makes me stubborn it keeps me quite safe.


I think in my dream I just caught a small glimpse of how it could be, but that doesn't mean it has to happen.

Hey man, you know who you are.

oooh! and to you too sir...

Note to self:
when some people say it, it's not half bad being called "young lady".

I do believe people I work with are still possibly a leeeeeettle deluded about my age though...

My sister advised me back in the day not to tell colleagues my age in case it affects the way they respect me. This obviously shouldn't happen but lets face it... so often it does.
I hope in my case it hasn't been having the opposite to the desired effect these past years...

But ignoring all that, the "good morning and best wishes for the new year young lady" I got this morning felt nostalgic, comfortable, and as if I should go out and buy myself some sort of hat or bonnet.
So good morning and same to you too sir.

Hey Chickie!

Just another reason I love hanging with Kat is that I’ve definitely never been called a chickie on my own before!
And certainly not by a waiter who is a good few years younger than us I think.

You keep me fun my dear lady-friend! x!
Or do you think the caiparinia’s are doing the trick?

nah…

P.S. Why is it when you bring people who love hot food to a restaurant, that will be the night that the chilli’s are most tame? But the day you just want to have slightly spicy snacks with a gal-pal you both end up crying and gasping for breath.
(see above as part of the explanation as to how we managed 6 caiparinia’s in quite a short time. Also feel free to entertain yourself with images of us sitting squirming with laughter as we try to just keep ice in our mouth a little bit longer for relief)
